    DAMN IT ERIC! I haven't even gotten my front bumper yet, and here you are making me drool over a rear bumper! SO UNFAIR! I like the swing away tire carrier. I have a question though. On the one picture of it open, it looks like it twists the bumper and sags a bit. Is that how it is, or is it just how the picture looks? It is hard to tell since it is parked on an incline.

    approx 5months estimated at the moment.

    Ha, well thanks!
    If it looks like the bumper is sagging, it would either be the way the bumper was mounted on the truck, or a twisted frame on the truck.
    The bumper should be square, and I even add just a hair of angle to the tire mount so the tire angles toward the truck and not look saggy either.

    Wow. That's a good long wait. Though would be right around my birthday...and that'd make a real nice bday present... I'll think about it for an hour or so more...

    Thanks!

    Yessir, long wait, and that's the norm for most of our products. Simply can't fab quick enough to meet demand, even with growing the business 3-fold in the past year. :cool:

    I guess that's a good thing. :)

    So, early on in this thread someone suggested extending the side protection up under/around the rear quarters. Have you done any like that at all yet? Any chance of getting it done? If so, how much more would it run? And how do I specify that on my order on the site?

    Thanks!

    That is actually an option I'm currently working on adding. Pics soon. I'm going to estimate it adding $200-250ish. If you want it, put it in order notes and I'll contact regarding it and charging the additional prior to shipping it out.

    Thanks for the clarification. And just to check in, I am guessing my front bumper kit will be shipping out this coming week? I am getting excited! Still have to pick up the wire for my welder though.

    Unless something happens at the shop that's bending up the center mount plates then yes it should. :)

    DIY kits are typically 2-3 weeks lead.
    Tire carrier components are available(pivot spindle, hold down, swing lock/pop pin, tire mount plate/studs, and gussets) but you would need to supply the tube and do the overall design of the swing out arm on your own. They're not that difficult once you have all the components.
    Bed side/quarter protection option is coming soon.

    sweet, will look for updates on the bedside protection and order then. Do you offer any options to have local companies cut out the parts so the customer can pick up local?

    still no chance at this having an option to be an HC bumper? CBI is the only other dealer that offers it for the 1st gen. Get in on the money :]
